Is Your Organization On the Path to Enabling a 5G World?

The era of 5G will change the world we live in. Services will be delivered to the users, enterprises and consumers, for specific needs and desires, not by one connected device, such as a mobile phone, but by a myriad of “things.” The network and the services will become more customizable and personal. 5G will usher in an exciting time for Communications Service Providers (Comms SPs), who will evolve their business models by streamlining, yet customizing the delivery of services, essentially bringing businesses and their customers closer together. This, in turn, will enable new innovations and opportunities for services and revenue growth.

5G will usher in an exciting time for Communications Service Providers (Comms SPs), who will evolve their business models by streamlining, yet customizing the delivery of services, essentially bringing businesses and their customers closer together. This, in turn, will enable new innovations and opportunities for services and revenue growth. To prepare for a 5G world, Comms SPs are transforming their networks to provide a virtualized foundation to deliver mass customization of the network. This transformation takes shape by ensuring flexibility and scalability from the radio access (including both licensed and unlicensed spectrums) through the core. The networks become dynamically “sliceable” in order to deliver and manage all connected devices and services with a high quality of experience. The network will require compute processing from the antenna thru the core that is both flexible and deployable when and where they are needed.
